Insurance company CEO assassinated in New York

If they nick him quickly, Biden could pardon him.

I wonder how hard the US filth are trying to find him. They must have workplace health insurance?

Jury vetting will certainly be interesting.

His last LinkedIn post and some of the replies. Which were limited to his connections only. Could you imagine the responses if it was open to all?

I feel sorry for his kids. That’s it.

Tbf I've heard the investigation is moving fast and they've already narrowed it down to 1.5 million suspects.

Healthcare CEOs are now attempting to have all mention of themselves on Wikipedia deleted


who'd have seen that coming.

Suspect's name is apparently Robert Paulson.

Murder On The Amtrak Express - they all did it! (Spoiler alert)

Scumbag CEOs everywhere are removing their faces from their websites, and attempting to delete all references of themselves from the internet. It's funny as fuck.
I believe the scumbags that were planning to only pay for a set amount of anaesthesia have reversed their decision, for fear of euthanasia.

I just had a look at healthcare insurance prices in the land of the free. $25,572/year for an average family
Land of the free-for-all would be more fitting.

He is quite handsome tbf. No doubt he'll be busted but he'll defo get a cult following.

I recently read a novel called "I Hate the Internet" and this reminded me of this passage:

"I want to do a book about the really hot terrorists and freedom fighters from the 60s and 70s. People don't remember, but there was this amazing moment when terrorism was high fashion. When you didn't have to be an ugly little man from the middle of nowhere with an overwhelming fear of sex. Terrorists and freedom fighters used to be really hot. Do you remember Leila Khaled? Leila Khaled was one of the most beautiful women who ever lived! Or Djamila Bouhired? Holy shit, Djamila Bouhired! Don't forget Dolores Price! Fuck, even Gudrun Hensslin or Patty Hearst. It'd be a book about closing doors on a wide variety of semi-valid political expressions. It'd be about the death of romance in modern life. Why are today's terrorists so bland and so drab? I'd call it 'Death in a Miniskirt.'"

My insurance last year was $1,100 a month with a $9,500 deductible.

I was thinking something along the lines that killing people is horrible, then I saw the post about the man whose parnter has stage 4 cancer and I changed my mind.

I don't know what a deductible is?

 

[weltweit]

Pretty scandalous the health system in the US, when the British NHS exists and broadly works for a fraction of the cost.

 

[Yuwipi Woman]

I don't know what a deductible is?

You have to meet that amount before they'll pay 100% of the medical costs. Before that point, they negotiate with the provider to lower the cost, but you pay the costs. They do cover preventative care for things like mammograms, etc. Basically, I have catastrophic insurance for if I get hit by a cross-town bus.

 

[cupid_stunt]

I fear it's basically an insurance excess.

And the US is supposed to be resistant to taxes ffs!

I recently read a novel called "I Hate the Internet" and this reminded me of this passage:

I read that novel a few years ago, and have forgotten that bit, but it confirmed what I already knew. It is interesting to watch the dramatisation of the Aldo Moro kidnapping, and see that the Red Brigades had some mass support.
The film The Baader Meinhof Complex reveals that left-wing terrorism was quite popular in West Germany.

That's frightening.

I was too. Then I thought about it a bit further and they directly make money from actual suffering.

Not like alcohol or fags or bad food where it is an indirect consequence.

The alcohol, fags, bad food CEOs can just be kneecapped.

Do you think the shooter does requests? Or maybe we could have an I'm a Celebrity CEO Get Me Outta Here, where they face a series of humiliations prior to their ultimate 'elimination'?

We just need a couple of chirpy anarcho-Geordies to compere it and I have a couple of, erm, likely lads in mind.

Going by the response in the US, this incident has exposed a depth of feeling that was maybe not that well understood, certainly over here.

The media is slowly starting to report some of that response, albeit tentatively.

Its a parochial perspective, but all of this reduces the threat of wholesale US style privatisation of the NHS.

Ho-ly-sh-it.
Why hasn't there been a revolution?
That us scandalous.
America is so crazy. Guns, cars and heathcare. . . But somehow people keep voting for more misery.
